Glen Doherty, former Navy Seal

Glen Doherty was a former US navy special forces soldier and co-author of a book two years ago titled Navy Seal Sniper: An Intimate Look at the Sniper of the 21st Century.

Doherty's sister, Kate Quigley, on Thursday called him "an American hero" and described his involvement in the mission to rescue a soldier, private Jessica Lynch, captured by Iraq at the beginning of the 2003 US invasion.
